From time to time, major organizations such as the AFI give us lists of the best movies of all time. There’s some kind of grand countdown from 100 to 1 and then we debate for a few days over how low this one was ranked or why was another ranked too high. And most of the time, we rarely get a glimpse behind the process.

Time Out London has just released their list of the 100 Best Comedies Of All Time but have done it in a fun and uniquely transparent way. They surveyed over 200 people who work in, with, or around comedy and asked them for their top tens. Then they averaged all those lists together to come up with the top 100.

The best part, though, is that all the lists are public. So instead of just listing the 100 best comedies of all time, we can also find out which ten comedies director Edgar Wright lists as his favorite of all time. Or Office co-creator Stephen Merchant. Or Ghostbusters 3 tease Dan Aykroyd. Or about 200 more people.

After the jump, we’ll highlight a few of the individual top tens and as well as reveal the full 100.

To read all of this information and much much more, you should head over to the Time Out London page where it originated. There you can interact with the below collage of photos and find out what films made the top 100. Clicking on it below will take you to the full list but, if you want to guess from the image, the #1 film is in the bottom right and the numbers go up as you move left.

So that’s the top 100. Hard to argue with the top five but, just after a quick look, there are some huge surprises. Team America beats South Park? Best in Show beats Guffman? Raising Arizona and Caddyshack in the bottom 20? Anchorman number 6? Crazy.

And just for fun, here are a few select top tens from filmmakers and comedians that helped created the above list. Here’s Edgar Wright’s.
